LCS Sunday March 8th, Loveland Colorado

[Thor VonRippington]

Loveland Carve Session
Sunday March 8th
Loveland Ski Area, Colorado

Here is the link to the original thread posted on the Colorado ride board
http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=23766

Please rsvp on the original thread so Grill Meister Mario knows how many are coming

There are over 40 riders signed up for the event so far... the more the merrier

Look for lift tickets on Craigslist or Ebay. Many folks bought four packs at the beginning of the season and are now selling them off. They are a "hard" ticket that you take directly to the lift and are legal to sell. A single day pass out of a four pack should go for $30 or so.

See you there!

Worth the trip just for Mario's BBQ!! :biggthump

Hey Mods, can we get a sticky on this?

[inkaholic]

anyone else in or around CO should try to attend. Good times with the LCI, Big Mario's BBQ, and demos from All Boards Sports. See the link that Thor posted at the start of this thread.

The fun is just around the corner.

It will be obvious. The front corner of the parking lot (closest to the ticket window/cock tower and Chair #1) is reserved for the demo tent and BBQ.

[xolufus]

Looking forward to it...

When you get off the highway (from either Vail or DIA) you will go Right to the Loveland Basin lot. If you go left you will end up at the Valley lot. The above is correct except that we will be near the CLOCK tower. The other one must be D.T.'s personal marker.

The current list of attendees is now 41. This is gonna be fun!

[Thor VonRippington]

Ink - I'm keeping post #6 of this thread updated as you update yours on the Colorado Ride Board.

You can add Kathy to the attendees

Cool Thor, I added Kathy.

Thanks for joining us yesterday and bringing Ace and Andre. It was good.


All you others in the possibly list or any others, are you gonna make it?
Please let us know ASAP so that Big Mario can have a good count for the BBQ needs.

Thanks,
Ink

I got the BBQ Brisket, Shoulda' and beans coverd, bring your own personal beverages, and whatever sides/snacks/sporks and plates you wish, just let everyone here now so we dont have duplicates. I know Just K has the rolls covered, Ac, you out there? has the 'slaw coverd. Every one else, chime in!

I've been eyeing on this for quite a while, however just now (recent Sunday) my truck's camshaft sensor's shot. Ordered a new one, and should get it by Thursday, and I'm hoping to be able to repair it with less hassle (I really dont want to take off the throttle body to have "easy" access since that means I have to drain out the pump on two of the pump hose/pipes so gonna rig it somehow).

I'm actually praying that I get to go cuz I really am more (I admit) salviating to eat bigmario's cooking than I am with alpine riding. :) no, it is both. :) I know Snowman would love to see me there again. :)

[Thor VonRippington]

I second the request on giving this thread a sticky.

Second annual, about fifty riders, demo tent, BBQ, sponsored and insured, possibly live music

Is this not legit enough?

What does OES have that we don't? :confused:

Current attendee list is at 43 riders. Possibly a couple more before Sunday.

This shindig is going to be way more fun than the race at Steamboat. Come play with the LCI.

Lee,
get your truck fixed and join us!

[SEJ]

If only I wasn't driving home from OES that day.
Hope it turns out as great as it sounds!

[Thor VonRippington]

Excellent day!!

About fifty riders on the hill, sun, great snow, amazing BBQ, bummed it's over

Thanks:
LCI
Bola from All Board Sports
Fin from Bomber

:biggthump :biggthump :biggthump

[Blue Bird]

Looking forward to next year!! The drive was so worth it. LCI, Bola, Fin and everyone who came out to play, Thanks for an awesome day!

[LeeW]

... I'm so bummed.

I couldn't get my truck fixed this afternoon as I hoped I could. Turns out I'll have to take out the throttle body, which requires coolant system drainage to have access to that !@#* part spot. :mad:

Next year.

[inkaholic]

who came out to the LCS yesterday. It was great to see that many riders at Lovey.

The biggest thanks goes out to Big Mario and Bola for setting it all up, the incredible BBQ and the demo tent. THANK YOU!

Hope to ride with all of you again soon.

Ink

[newcarver]

Sounds like a great time. Wish I could have make the trip. Maybe next year.

[justk]

As previously stated, Sunday was incredible!

Highlights:
- Warm, bluebird day (were we really at Loveland??)
- Bola brought lots of demos and his usual cheerful self. Thanks Bola! And D.T. was there most of the day helping Bola out - and fellow hardbooters.
- GREAT food. Chief Instigator, aka Big Mario, really takes his BBQ seriously and it shows! I haven't eaten pork in about 5 years - until Sunday. Amazing! And, thanks Chef for the portabello - I still have to get the recipe from you. :)
- LCI did a great job organizing everything.
- Excellent carving!
- Got off the lift and actually headed to the wrong group hardbooters (not that there is such a thing!)

If you didn't go this year - plan on next year! I was surprised to meet people from all over and, well, the Colorado community just kicks a$$. :cool:

Now, some photos for your viewing pleasure (thanks John!):

[redriver]

Put together a short vid (http://co-produced.com) from the LCS. Didn't capture much cos I was enjoying the riding so much - and the food. Thanks Mario and Bola, and all who contributed to my last day in the mountains for 09. Hope to see you all next year somewhere.
